Frequently asked questions
West Tennessee loess looks like good dirt. What does it do under a slab?
It pipes. Vertical pores take March rain fast, then a buried clay lens perches it against the slab or crawl. The yard can look well drained while the pad sits in a bathtub. 'Good dirt' is a farm compliment, not a foundation report.
March rain reaches the crawl quickly and then will not leave. Why both?
Loess does two things at once. Vertical pores let March rain drop straight through, and the same silt perches it once it reaches the bottoms, so the water arrives fast and then stays. Speed and persistence are not a contradiction here; they are one soil.
The crawl never floods but always smells in March. Worth opening?
That smell is often the perched lens, not a flood. Loess wets the air in the crawl without putting a visible pool on the plastic, if there is plastic. Opening it in March is when you catch the season, not when you wait for summer heat to hide it.
